Powerbuilder Importfile function problem with Text datatype

[kayvee33]

I am using the ImportFile function to import data from a tab delimited text file to a datawindow created from a table which has a text data type. This is causing an import problem for that field.

Has anyone done this and do you know how to achieve this ?

hey kayvee33!

So you read Data from a Text File and try to import it to a DataWindow-Column?

I assume you have other Data from your DataBase - Table in the DataWindow?

If that is true, and you actually just want to add something to that row I wouldn't use ImportFile for it.

What errors do you get?
What doesn't it do you think it should?

Maybe you can post some Code or Outputs you get.
